1995 960 wont start

Post by suebell3 »

Had my spark plugs, oil and oil filter changed last sunday (neighbor did it). Car ran fine until I went out thursday morning to go to work. Car started, ran for a minute or two and died. Would not restart. After letting car sit for a while it will start right up but not stay started. Have replaced fuel and air filter since Thursday, still will not stay started. Only transportation! Any suggestions?

I would look at the Idle Control Motor, vacuum lines detached by mistake (happened to me while working on something else) :D
Example of Precision: Measure with a Micrometer, mark it with Chalk, and then cut it with an Axe.
